CULLEN SHARES HIS GIFTS WITH A BROADER AUDIENCE
WITH A PASSION for singing, writing songs and playing the guitar, Mark Cullen is steadily gaining attention in the Australian music scene as a solo artist.
Best known as the worship pastor at Perth’s influential Riverview Church, Cullen has a wealth of experience inspiring others. Now it is time for Mark to share his gifts to an even broader audience.
In the past year, the Kiwi born musician has won the Best Gospel Song section of the West Australian Music Industry Awards with the song Learning To Say, and published his first book Permission To Shine. He has also released his first solo CD Mercy-Kissed which has quickly become one of the best sellers on TRAA’s Indie sales chart.
Mark says the album expresses his heart and gifts “without artistic compromise”. “I really hope it is able to reach more people than I have been able to before,” he says.
Some of the highlights of his career include supporting Delirious? in Perth, playing at New Zealand’s Parachute Festival, and performing in Singapore, Indonesia, the US, and of course Australia.
But, the event that stands out for Mark has been leading worship for the past six years at Church Together in Perth where more than 12 000 people from 200 churches get together annually to worship. “It’s awesome. It’s a career highlight for me,” he says keenly.
Not surprisingly, worship is at the heart of Cullen’s album Mercy-Kissed and his new radio single, Falling At Your Feet.
“For me, the song is about surrender, gratitude and wonder,” he explains.
Look out for Falling At Your Feet on your local Christian radio station or program. It was a major hit last year on Perth’s Sonshine FM, now Mark is ready to impact the nation.
Falling At Your Feet is part of Woodlands Media’s Mezzanine Project supporting new
and developing talent.
